Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint Now Serving New Love Cookies

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB)December 03, 2013

Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint is showing customers – and dozens of local charity partners - the love while introducing freshly-baked “Love Cookies.” As part of the introduction of the new Love Cookie, Uncle Maddio’s is partnering with local charities and donating ten percent of Love Cookie sales during the month of December. Befitting the Uncle Maddio’s “Served with Love” marketing tag-line, the new Love Cookies and charity partnership is a perfect way to introduce the baked-to-order sweet treat.

The Love Cookie is an exclusive recipe, created by Uncle Maddio’s chef Alex Cook. The chocolate chip 6-inch cookie is prepared fresh and baked-to-order to ensure warm, chewy chocolaty goodness with each bite.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year to ‘Serve with Love,’” said Founder and Chief Pizza Maker Matt Andrew, Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint. “Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint and our franchisee partners love helping our local communities. We hope to make a big impact by selling as many Love Cookies as possible, so the donation of 25 cents for every cookie sold system-wide goes a long way in spreading joy this December.”

The 12 Atlanta-area Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint locations will donate their Love Cookie proceeds to Ronald McDonald House, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, Clifton Sanctuary Ministries Covenant House, The Special Olympics, No Longer Bound and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta. Locations in Savannah, Ga, Charlotte, NC, Knoxville, Tn, Tallahassee, Fla, Louisville, Ky, and Columbia, SC have also identified local charities.
